Yes, you can camp in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park. The park offers two drive-in campgrounds: Nāmakanipaio and Kulanaokuaiki. Nāmakanipaio Campground is operated by the Volcano House concession and offers tent camping with restrooms, picnic tables, and barbecue pits. Kulanaokuaiki Campground is a more primitive site, with no water or restrooms, but it does have picnic tables and barbecue pits. It's important to note that camping in Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park is limited to designated campgrounds, and you need to follow the park's rules and regulations.

Additionally, the park has one lodge, Volcano House, within the park boundaries. The lodge offers various types of accommodations, including hotel rooms, cabins, and a campground. Reservations are recommended for staying at Volcano House.
